The words “health care” and “comedy” aren’t usually found in the same sentence, but in MICHAEL MOORE‘s new movie ‘SiCKO,’ they go together hand in (rubber) glove. We’ll speak with KENNETH TURAN – he’s film critic for the LA Times – and he calls “SiCKO” Moore’s “most important, most impressive, most provocative film.”

Also: Bush’s new “ban” on torture: We have learned that when President Bush says, “We don’t torture,” it’s important to read the fine print. DAVID COLE explains – he’s a law professor at Georgetown University and contributor to Salon.com, The New York Review and The Nation.

Plus: RUDY GIULIANI is the leading Republican candidate for the 2008 race. President Giuliani would be “a fate worse than Bush” – that’s what KEVIN BAKER says – he wrote the cover story in the new issue of Harper’s.
